These men, armed with Winchester rifles, paraded Cavan Town every night. 1914. "Irish Volunteers" were formed in every parish in Co. Cavan. Later periods, detailed in all Irish history, brought in to this movement many constitutional nationalists, press and clergy. 1915.

Some Volunteers from North Cavan took part in Ballytrain, Co. Monaghan, R.I.C. barrack attack. Reorganisation resulted in setting tip of brigades and divisions and incidentally swamped Co. Cavan for purposes of record, as credit is given to the Division concerned for all activities. Particulars of this organisation (which was done by people who knew nothing of Co. Cavan) can be had from Referee Board's office. Sufficient to show that Cavan and Cootehill area became 3rd Brigade, 5th N. Div. (0/C. Eoin O'Duffy, R.I.P.), Hqrs. Co. Monaghan. (O'Duffy was President, G.A.A., Secretary, Ulster Council G.A.A. &c. also was best known in Cavan as Assistant Surveyor, Monaghan) 1916-1919 period.

Chas.Rei11y Co. Co. Cavan, Sean O'Neill (Co. Carlow) and late Capt Sean 4. Lynch (Cork), R.I.P., native of Laragh, Cc. Cavan. A third seat, with Co. Cavan as electoral area, was now available under "Government of Ireland Act 1920". The probable candidate, an East Cavan man, was not supported, due to absence of Sinn Fein Standing Committee from County Convention in Ballyconnell. Sinn Fein Hqrs. sent a girl to Cavan for correct information as to their choice. This girl is very probably known as a C. na mBan member in Dublin. At any rate, she must remember her first visit to Cavah town - as an example of how things then stood; it will suffice to say. that after many hardships she was put in touch with the writer (I.0. for the Cavan area). From no source whatever could any information be had as to probable candidate and so, later in the week, S.F. Hqrs. named Sean Milroy (R.I.P.) Townalast, Co. Tyrone, then interned in Ballykinlar. He had never seen Cavan before, but he duly became M.P. and was released from Ballykinlar. Much the same conditions obtained in I.R.A. circles. Courts R.I.C. were accurate.

Clergy formerly opposed S.F. and I.R.A. became very active in support of "The Treaty". Every public body in Co. Cavan urged its acceptance; members who had not attended meetings for years turned up to support it. (My proposition against caused much the same sensation as an atomic blast would today in Cavan town - voting 15 for - 3 against) "Fighting men" grew in every area, vide "Pensions". Feby. 1922 saw an effort to abolish the "Border". The only armed attempt to do so. It resulted in the death of Comdt. clones Matt Fitzpatrick and six R.U. Constabulary, at Rly. station.

Areas were entered on the basis that they fall within the catchment area of the nearest SuperValu store and this 'baseline assessment' is intended to provide a basis on which progress could be made over the coming years through partnership with residents, businesses and local agencies. As such it should not be interpreted as a critique of the area but rather an opportunity for everybody to work together to make their hometown a better place to work, live and visit. As part of Supervalu's strategic approach to sustainable development in the area, a nominal mark has been given to reflect this. Further marks will be awarded in future years where more tangible TidyTowns structures are developed and local environmental plans prepared and implemented. This is particularly relevant to Ballianagh where a successful TidyTowns group once existed. The Built Environment: Pauline’s fashions was nicely decorated and had four nice flower arrangements outside it.
